Chapter 251: Phantom of the Night
The two of them walked up the stairs lightly, without attracting anyone's attention.
When the figures of the two did not enter the staircase, Yuan Qi'er's eyes glanced at her inadvertently, Yuan Xingyu nodded to her, she got up and walked upstairs with light steps.
......
"Aren't you waiting for your eldest brother and the owner?" Seeing that it was far away from the lobby, Yang Muyun said softly to Mo Buyu.
"It's too noisy down there, I want to wait for my big brother up there." Mo Buyu said as he walked up the stairs.
Mo Buyu walked up to the third floor with sonorous steps, pushed open the door of a room with great skill, and walked in.
"Have you booked a room?" Yang Muyun followed him into the house and said with interest.
"This is the room that my eldest brother booked last night," Mo Buyu looked around the room, "We paid for the room for three whole days?" ”
"Three days?" Yang Muyun's heart moved, "Could it be that the heirloom jade seal is hidden in this room?" ”
The expression on Mo Buyu's face changed slightly, and he frowned, as if he was saying to himself, "Someone has been in this room...... Strange, it doesn't seem to be my big brother? ”
"How do you know it's not?" Yang Muyun's heart tightened: "Maybe he quietly hid from you and me......"
"No," Mo Buyu interrupted him, "it won't be him, it's not his smell left in this room." ”
Yang Muyun was silent, as brothers who grew up with each other since childhood, no one is more familiar with each other's smell. Mo Buyu's huge body quickly stepped forward, lifted the futon and bed board on a bed, and reached out to touch the ground below......
Yang Muyun walked quickly to his side, only to see that his thick fingers deftly picked open a few green bricks on the ground, revealing a small hole below, which was empty and empty.
"It's broken," Mo Buyu exclaimed, "that thing was taken." ”
"Taken?" Yang Muyun was stunned: "Who will take it?" Could it be that there are other guests staying here today? ”
"No," Mo Buyu shook his huge head, "we paid for the room for three days, and until the day after tomorrow, the store will not transfer this room to anyone." ”
"Could it be that someone from the shop sneaked in while you weren't there and took the item?" Yang Muyun said.
Mo Buyu frowned, "This place has just been moved, but the shop guys are all downstairs, and I haven't seen any of them come up?" ”
"It's not necessarily the shopkeeper who came here...... Yang Muyun raised his eyebrows, saw that there were traces of movement in a window, and hurriedly stepped forward, pushed open the window and looked out, outside the courtyard downstairs of the inn, a carriage was parked against the wall, and a slender figure lifted the curtain and jumped up.
"Is that her?" Yang Muyun frowned, his eyes narrowed, and just as the two sides drew their knives and confronted each other in the lobby, two people walked in quietly, and the figure of the woman wearing a shallow head was so familiar...... The scene in the lobby was believed to scare off any guests who came to stay at the pitch shop, but they were not afraid...... The slender figure who got into the car looked like the woman wearing a shallow head.
After the slender figure got into the car, the handlebar style raised the horsewhip, and the wheels of the carriage creaked, and drove forward.
"The carriage is actually somewhat familiar." Yang Muyun's mind flashed, remembering the carriage in front of him when he left the city during the day.
"Who is it?" Mo Buyu walked quickly to his side and asked.
Yang Muyun didn't answer, jumped out of the window, and dropped a sentence, "Your eldest brother won't come again......" The whole person jumped downstairs like a big peng spreading his wings.
The carriage made a clattering sound toward the city gates. In the car, a masked girl in green clothes said to the woman wearing a light exposure on the upper car: "Miss......" Before the following words were spoken, the woman's head was lightly tapped, and the light veil hanging from the shallow exposure shook slightly.
"But the maid is worried to death," the masked girl in Tsing Yi patted her chest, as if she had palpitations, "There are so many people in the lobby, in case there is a fight......"
"It's also them who fight, what do we care?" The one who spoke was an old man of about fifty years old, with a Chinese face, lying silkworm eyebrows, his eyes were bright, and he exuded a trace of majesty all over his body, but when he faced the woman, his state was extremely respectful, "But it is a subordinate sin to let Miss get into danger." ”
"The great cause is important, and the safety of the individual is not enough
? The woman's gaze looked through the thin light veil, and said lightly: "We have to get out of here quickly, if someone finds out, it will be troublesome." ”
The masked girl in Tsing Yi let out an "um" and asked, "Miss, where are we going after we leave the city?" ”
The woman didn't answer, and turned her gaze to a corner of the carriage, where a thin boy was huddled up, staring at them with big eyes.
"Brother Mo," the woman's voice softened to the extreme, "what are your plans?" ”
"Me?" Mo Buyan stretched out his finger and pointed to the tip of his nose, propped himself up and landed on his knees, moved forward, leaned over and said, "Since Miss has taken something, please let me go down, and don't say that you want to find my brother." ”
"Don't worry, let's talk about this matter when we get out of the city," the woman's face was hidden behind the veil, and she couldn't see the change in her expression clearly, "Brother Ling is fine now, you don't have to worry." ”
"Has Miss seen my brother?" Mo Buyan was stunned, and his expression became excited, "Where is he now, can you tell me?" ”
"The other man is in that inn," said the dignified old man, "and he can eat and drink now, and he is very good!" ”
"He's in that inn?" Mo Buyan was shocked, "The person who coveted that thing is also in the inn, isn't he very dangerous?" ”
"Little Brother Mo......" The majestic old man stretched out his voice, and said with a smile on his face: "My young lady has taken the things, and my brother has no use value for those people...... Don't worry, he'll be fine, and it won't be long before you'll see each other. ”
"That's good, that's good......" Mo Buyan nodded again and again, but his face was worried.
The speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, and then stopped with a "creak".
A thick voice shouted outside: "Closed at night, don't you know the rules? Don't go back yet! ”
The woman sat in the car and did not move, and the masked girl in Tsing Yi shook her head helplessly, "It's these difficult little ghosts again......" took out a white jade inlaid with gold and engraved cloud pattern sign from her body, and handed it out through the curtain......
The gates of the city slammed open, the horses spread their hooves, hooves sounded, and the carriage soon disappeared into the night outside the city.
Just as the city gate was about to close, a young figure ran quickly, and behind him, a huge body like a mountain followed......
......
I don't know how long the carriage traveled in the wilderness of the boundless night, and Mo Buyan bowed his hand to the woman in the carriage and said, "Miss, please stop, let me go." ”
"This thing can be safely obtained, Brother Mo is a great contribution," out of the city, the woman's voice relaxed a lot, "Please be calm, I will order someone to put a little wine in the village later, and I will treat you to a drink." ”
"Thank you, Miss," Mo Buyan said with a worried face: "I don't care about my brother's safety, I don't want to drink, and I ask you to let the villain go." ”
"Very well," the woman sighed, "that being the case, I will not force you, but at the turn in front of you I will stop the carriage and you will go down." ”
"Thank you, Miss!"
......
The carriage stopped at the turn of a narrow road, and without saying a word, he bowed his hand to the woman, and got out of the carriage.
Seeing that his figure had disappeared into the night, the woman cast a glance at the old man through the tulle. The old man understood, and his body shook slightly, and he floated out of the carriage a few feet away, and he was astonishingly light.
"Miss, you're going to kill him?" The masked girl in Tsing Yi asked in surprise.
The woman hummed lightly and glanced at her through the tulle, "What, you're soft-hearted?" But after only half a day, you developed a crush on him? ”
"No, no, Miss misunderstood," the masked girl in Tsing Yi shook her head frequently, "The maid just thinks that these two brothers are a little pitiful, although they make a living by stealing, but they are only for a living, and they have never done anything hurtful, do you do this...... Is it ......" The following words cannot be exported for a while.
"You think I'm going too far, don't you?" The woman said coldly: "Those who become big things are not informal, how do I usually teach you, have you forgotten?" ”
"The maid hasn't forgotten," the masked girl in Tsing Yi looked at her uneasily and said, "The maid just thinks that if he lets him go, he may not tell us about it." ”
"Not necessarily? Are you so sure? The woman sneered, "It's a pity that I don't have the capital to bet on your sympathy, once you lose the bet, do you know how many people will die for it?" ”
"Son...
... The maid ......" The masked girl in Tsing Yi trembled.
"You are still young, and you can't understand the dangers of the world yet," the woman's voice softened a little, "I think that at the beginning, our people were almost completely wiped out, and those who survived could no longer withstand the second annihilation......" Speaking of this, the pair of crystal eyes behind the thin veil narrowed slightly, "Compared with the promise of the living, can it be more reassuring than the dead who will never speak?" ”
Hearing this, the masked girl in Tsing Yi couldn't help but shudder, "Son...... The servant understood. ”
At this time, there was a neighing of horses outside the car, and the woman's face changed, and she took out a square brocade box and threw it at the masked girl in Tsing Yi, "Put it away, don't act rashly without me." As he spoke, he drew a long sword and dodged out the car door.
......
In the moonlight, a thin figure was running. Mo Buyan's heart hung in his throat, and since he heard that his own brother was in that inn, he longed to fly over.
"He's there, he must be waiting for me," Mo Buyan's eyes were a little moist, "You must not have anything to do, big brother is here." ”
The vest hurt, he didn't take a breath, his eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground without saying a word.
The majestic old man walked in front of him in a few steps, looking at Mo Buyan, who was still twitching on the ground. frowned, "This kid's life is really hard, he stabbed him in the heart, and he didn't kill him immediately." He leaned down, pulled out a flying knife more than half a foot long and shiny from his back, and was about to poke it again, when he suddenly heard a neighing of a horse behind him.
"Not good!" He stood up, ignoring the convulsions on the ground, and flew towards the way he came.
......
The faint moonlight shone on the ground, like a thin layer of frost. The woman was holding a long sword, and a pair of starry eyes staring at the person in front of her behind the shallow tulle.
In front of her stood a man, a strange person. He wore a hat on his head, and under the hat was a grim face with features like a knife and an axe, and a long scar on the left cheek, like a centipede climbing on it, making his cold face particularly hideous. He held the knife in his left hand, a knife of a very peculiar shape, the scabbard was pitch black, the hilt was pitch black, he did not hold it tightly, but it gave a very powerful feeling. The clothes on his body were as black as ink, coupled with the pitch-black knife and pitch-black eyes, the whole person looked black and shiny, incompatible with the night around him.
"Wind Wuji?" The woman spoke, and the hand holding the long sword tightened, and the jade hand like mutton fat and jade was slightly green.
"You know me?" The scar on Feng Wuji's face moved slightly, and his dark eyes became brighter.
The woman didn't speak, staring at the knife in his hand, secretly fearful.
"Give me that thing back, I won't kill you." Feng Wuji's voice was very flat, but it gave people an invisible pressure that made people breathless.
"What's that?" The woman pretended to be puzzled.
"I'll give you ten breaths," Feng Wuji's voice was slightly cold, "You're a smart man, don't force me to draw a knife." ”
"Okay, I'll give it to you." As soon as the woman raised her hand, something was thrown towards Feng Wuji.
Before Feng Wuji could take it, a cold light had already pierced his face. The long sword in the woman's hand had already struck, straight into his eye socket.
Seeing that the blade of the sword was only half a foot away from him, Feng Wuji did not dodge or dodge, his dark eyes rolled, and a black light came first, and his sword was already out of the sheath.
There was a clear crisp sound, and the figure of the woman had shifted seven feet diagonally, and the long sword flipped to guard its own portal.
"And seven breaths." Feng Wuji said in a deep voice, taking a step forward.
Intimidated by his powerful aura, the woman couldn't help but take a step back.
"There are five breaths," Feng Wuji's dark eyes were as cold as knives.
“......”
"And three breaths." The air around him seemed to become oppressive.
The woman's figure remained motionless, and she had not found a better shot since the first blow missed.
A cool night breeze blows, and the rustling of leaves brings out the silence of the night.
Feng Wuji stopped making a sound, and the hand holding the scabbard tightened.
The starry eyes behind the woman's tulle narrowed slightly, and she knew that the last moment had come.
